May updates

In case you use some of the following modules you might be interested in reading what happened to them: App::TLSMe, Fliggy, Protocol::WebSocket, Plack::Middleware::SocketIO, MojoX::Validator, Protocol::XMLRPC.

App::TLSme is now on CPAN.

App::TLSMe is an AnyEvent TLS/SSL tunnel that transparently proxies encrypted requests to the non-SSL applications via INET or UNIX sockets.

Fliggy is now on CPAN too.

Fliggy is Twiggy with inlined Flash Policy server that eliminates the need of running a separate service on 843 port as root.

Protocol::WebSocket has an API change.

Due to internal UTF-8 encoding/decoding sometimes when you don't need Perl strings and want to get just raw bytes you'd have to encode/decode manually and introduce unneedable overhead. Now you can get Perl string and raw UTF-8 decoded data separately by using specific methods. In Protocol::WebSocket::Frame to_string now returns Perl strings instead of bytes and to_bytes does the opposite. next left without a change and returns Perl strings as is did, but a new method next_bytes returns raw UTF-8 data.

Plack::Middleware::SocketIO is now considered deprecated in favor of http://github.com/vti/pocketio.

Middlewares are not suitable for the end-point applications. Because of this PocketIO is now built like Plack::App::File. From now on you can just mount SocketIO application as any other Plack application.

mount '/socket.io' => PocketIO->new(handler => sub { ... });

PocketIO is already ahead of Plack::Middleware::SocketIO. In particular, various UTF-8 related bugs are fixed and connections are correctly closed.

MojoX::Validator is now Input::Validator.

Since I wanted to use MojoX::Validator in Plack applications I've got rid of Mojolicious dependency, but not from MojoX::Validator functionality. The new Input::Validator is just the same thing with the same interface but CPAN friendly.

Protocol::XMLRPC is refactored.

Protocol::XMLRPC is a XML::LibXML based XMLRPC message parser/builder. Now it has an improved automatic type guessing similar to JSON.
